Pandas have plantigrade feet, that is, both heel and toes make contact with the ground when walking, in a manner similar to humans.
HABITAT The panda shares its habitat with many other animals but has few enemies. They live in southeastern China. They live in misty cool forests on the side of mountainous slopes. There are many bamboo trees for pandas eat a lot.
FOOD The panda eats food for about 10 to 12 hours a day. It eats about 40 to 80 pounds. Pandas must eat great amounts of bamboo every day in order to get enough nutrition to survive. A panda’s diet consists of 99% bamboo but occasionally pandas eat meat or other plants, they may eat honey as well as the bees. They have a tough lining so bee stings do not hurt them. The pandas eat in a sitting position. Since the panda does not hibernate it does not have to store food.
